***Official*** CNN/YouTube GOP debate

[KneeCo]

* I appreciate the directness on the confederate flag question, the fact that all republicans aren't on board with that thing being an insult pretty much answers the earlier question re: why don't blacks vote for us, doesn't it?

* You guys are wrong about Ron Paul.

* I like the youtube format, even though it's not really the democratization its promoted as (just cause the media screens and filters the questions), I still think the questions come across better, the people convey a real sense of urgency about the issues and they aren't afraid of asking a question on a subject or in a way that would get them in trouble.

* debates have a natural flow to them in a number of ways that make debates with too many people on stage and commercial breaks lose power and make everyone taking part look weaker I think.

* lol at the stupid live audience

* Obama '08!
